Rick Warren: 7 Attitudes on Racism; Christians Should Have This One
By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor – July 24, 2016
Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Southern California addressed racism in his sermon in the wake of the deadly ambush of police officers following the shooting deaths of African Americans, describing seven attitudes to racism and identifying the one which Christians should have.
“Our nation is desperate for healing… and the Church cannot be silent,” Warren told the congregation in a recent sermon he delivered after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana left three police officers dead.
The megachurch pastor quoted Titus 2:11: “God has revealed his grace to save the whole human race.”
God has never made a person He doesn’t love, Warren stressed. “Race was God’s idea,” he said. “Racial reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel.”
3 wonderful nights at CTFM in the presence of God
The only way we can describe the 3 nights of worship is ‘Absolutely Awesome’!
On Friday , Saturday & Sunday many gathered to wait upon the Lord in worship and intercession for our nation and the nations.
Everyone came out to the altar and spent hours in worship over the 3 nights.
The presence of God was so thick you knew that His presence was real.
There was a mighty river of life flowing at the altar as many came and drank from it.
As the worship entered into high praise, people were laughing, some were weeping and others were just dancing.

Mighty Australia Day Prayer & Holy Spirit Revival meetings in Hallam
Dear family & friends in Christ,
What a wonderful weekend it was to see God’s awesome presence at every single meeting and then on Australia Day yesterday at the interdenominational prayer meeting for Australia’s spiritual revival and transformation!
Hundreds packed the CTFM auditorium over the weekend to hear the Word of God, with people travelling all the way from Perth, Darwin, Sydney and other places around Australia to soak in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Ps Petrus from Indonesia preached the Word of God with power and authority as many received a mighty touch from Heaven.
At the Australia Day United Prayer Service, Church leaders from Baptist, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Messianic Jewish, CRC and other Pentecostal denominations led in prayer for Government, Armed Forces & Emergency Services, Youth & Families, Business & Marketplace, Israel, Indigenous people etc.
The worship from the Indonesians & CTFM was absolutely awesome, as the Holy Spirit moved most powerfully, including when we sang ‘The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit’.
You may click the following link to listen to a very special worship item from Ps Daniel’s son & daughter.
You may also click the following link to watch the conclusion of the meeting as we sang our national anthem, ‘Advance Australia Fair.’
We praise and thank God for a great weekend of Holy Spirit revival fire!
America’s Most Urgent Need as the New Year Begins Is National Repentance
December 27, 2015
America’s most urgent need as the New Year begins is national repentance.
“I am struck by the high level of anxiety and worry on all fronts,” said Robert Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, as PRRI released its American Values Survey November 17.
There are many obvious causes of national nervousness: terrorism, crime and domestic unrest, political weakness and uncertainty, economic woes, and moral collapse, to name a few.
Yet there is unidentifiable angst in the national soul. In our travels and interactions with people across the United States, we conclude this hidden distress is spiritual.
America needs revival, but first there must be national repentance.
Ancient Israel shows how it’s possible for a whole nation to repent. There are powerful examples showing how repentance brought return to God, and restoration of the nation to its values and the best of its history, as well as security and general well-being.
